About Kiana
Kiana Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles in straightforward, practical ways.
Kiana uses simple, goal-focused methods to help people make changes that stick. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions are aimed at clear, achievable steps rather than long, abstract explanations.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University. Her background includes work in private practice and public agencies, which informs a flexible, real-world style of care.
Kiana often helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical tools for stress management and emotion regulation. She also addresses issues like intimacy, codependency, body image, addiction, and career stress with concrete strategies and short-term goals.
Therapy with Kiana is collaborative. She listens to what matters most to the client and tailors sessions to those goals. Readers should confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match their needs.
Approaches and what online work can look like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them name what matters most and build on their strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when people want concrete tools and practice between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and emotion regulation.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That joint exploration helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person make progress.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a quieter space, a brief phone check-in, or a full video session would suit you better, discuss those preferences when you match with the therapist.
